Technology
Viper Grinding (5-axis machining)
Viper Grinding reduces lead times and manufacturing costs for the production of components made from tough materials.
The technology is capable of machining a wide variety of tough materials effectively, including nickel-based super alloys.
This makes it ideal for manufacturing engine turbine blades, vanes and seal segments for the aerospace and industrial gas industries.
With extraordinary cutting rates up to 5x normal performance, components are produced efficiently to high tolerances and specifications.
By providing the ability to change the grinding tooling whilst in process, multiple features can also be produced within one machine cycle, reducing tooling costs and set up and manufacturing time.
At our Nelson facility we have the largest Viper grinding machine available in the Worldwide market.
